Abstract

The valve has two valve has two valve discs of hard material, each with a non-central passage aperture (21,11). One valve disc has a smooth seating surface, and a recess (5), extending eccentrically from the surface towards the central axis (4). When the valve is closed, the recess is charged by the material flowing through it, so that the centres of both valve discs are wetted by the medium. The recess has a diameter corresponding to approx. 1/20 of the external diameter of the valve discs. It is located in the upstream valve disc.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Absperr- und Regulierventil, insbesondere für Wasserarmaturen, mit einer im Gehäuse unverdrehbar gehaltenen, wenigstens eine Durchtrittsöffnung und eine geglättete Sitzoberfläche aufweisenden Ventilscheibe aus Hartstoff, an der eine koaxial zur Mittelachse drehbare, ebenfalls aus Hartstoff hergestellte, wenigstens eine Durchtrittsöffnung aufweisende Ventilscheibe mit einer geglätteten Dichtfläche anliegt, wobei die Durchtrittsöffnungen außerhalb der Mitte der Scheiben angeordnet sind und in einer Ventilscheibe von der Dichtfläche aus exzentrisch zur Mittelachse wenigstens eine Vertiefung ausgebildet ist, die zumindest in geschlossener Ventilstellung vom Durchflußmedium beaufschlagt ist.
Ein Absperr- und Regulierventil dieser Gattung ist beispielsweise aus der DE-U-87 15 044.1 bekannt. Hierbei sind die Vertiefungen als Nuten außerhalb des Zentrums der Scheiben angeordnet. Sie sollen die Reibflächen der Scheiben mindern und als sogenannte Fettnester dienen. Bei derartigen Ventilen werden meist Ventilscheiben aus Keramikmaterial eingesetzt, wobei beim Zusammenmontieren die Dichtflächen der Scheiben mit einem Fettfilm versehen werden, um ein leichtgängiges Bewegen der Ventilscheiben zueinander zu ermöglichen. Bei der Benutzung des Ventils kann durch die Drehbewegungen der Ventilflächen zueinander der aufgetragene Fettfilm zum Teil wieder abgetragen werden. Gleichzeitig bilden sich, wie beobachtet wurde, Ablagerungen und Scheibenaufschotterungen, wobei die Aufschotterungen aus Abriebmaterial von den Keramikscheiben und Fettrückständen gebildet werden. Diese Ablagerungen und Aufschotterungen werden durch das Übergleiten der Durchtrittsöffnungen im wesentlichen wieder abgestreift und vom durchfließenden Medium Wasser weggespült, wobei der Wasserfilm ebenfalls eine gewisse Schmierung bewirkt.
Im Scheibenzentrum hingegen können die Ablagerungen und Aufschotterungen weder durch die Drehbewegung abgeschoben, noch können sie aus diesem Bereich fortgespült werden. Im scheibenmittigen Bereich verbleibt somit die eingebrachte Fettmenge bzw. es entsteht hier ein Fettpolster. Dies bedeutet, daß im Randbereich ein Spalt in der Dicke des Fettpolsters entstehen und zu einer Undichtigkeit des Ventils führen kann. Da im Neuzustand die gesamten Dichtflächen mit einem Fettfilm versehen sind, können Undichtigkeiten erst zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt auftreten, wenn das Fett und die Aufschotterungen aus den Randbereichen der Dichtflächen fortgespült sind.
The invention relates to a shut-off and regulating valve, in particular for water fittings, with a valve disc made of hard material, which is held non-rotatably in the housing and has at least one through-opening and a smoothed seat surface, on which a valve disc, which is also made of hard material and rotatable coaxially to the central axis, has at least one through-opening abuts with a smoothed sealing surface, the passage openings being arranged outside the center of the disks and at least one recess being formed in a valve disk from the sealing surface eccentrically to the central axis, which is acted upon by the flow medium at least in the closed valve position.
A shut-off and regulating valve of this type is known for example from DE-U-87 15 044.1. Here, the depressions are arranged as grooves outside the center of the disks. They are intended to reduce the friction surfaces of the disks and serve as so-called grease nests. In such valves, valve disks made of ceramic material are mostly used, the sealing surfaces of the disks being provided with a grease film during assembly in order to enable the valve disks to move smoothly with respect to one another. When using the valve, the applied grease film can be partially removed by the rotary movements of the valve surfaces relative to each other. At the same time, as has been observed, deposits and disk ballast form, the ballast from wear material being formed by the ceramic disks and grease residues. These deposits and gravel deposits are essentially stripped off again by sliding over the through-openings and washed away by the water flowing through, the water film likewise causing a certain amount of lubrication.
In the disc center, on the other hand, the deposits and gravel cannot be pushed off by the rotary movement, nor can they be washed away from this area. The amount of fat introduced thus remains in the center of the disk or a fat cushion is created here. This means that there is a gap in the thickness of the fat pad in the edge area and can lead to a leak in the valve. Since the entire sealing surfaces are provided with a grease film when new, leaks can only occur at a later point in time when the grease and the ballast are washed away from the edge areas of the sealing surfaces.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, das im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 angegebene Ventil zu verbessern und die Ventilscheiben so auszubilden, daß auch vom Scheibenzentrum aus ein Fortschwemmen von den aus Fett und Abrieb bestehenden Aufschotterungen ermöglicht wird. The invention has for its object in the preamble of claim 1 valve to improve and form the valve disks so that also from Disc center from washing away from fat and abrasion existing gravel becomes.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß wenigstens eine Vertiefung die Mittelachse berührt oder geringfügig übergreift, so daß im Betrieb auch das Zentrum der Ventilscheiben in Verbindung mit der Ventilbetätigung vom Durchflußmedium benetzt wird.This object is achieved in that at least one depression touches the central axis or slightly overlaps, so that in operation the center of the Valve disks in connection with valve actuation is wetted by the flow medium.

Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 6 angegeben.Further embodiments of the invention are in the claims 2 to 6 specified.

Mit diesen erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen kann weitgehend ein unerwünschtes Undichtwerden des Absperr- und Regulierventils nach einer längeren Gebrauchsdauer unterbunden werden. Durch eine Einbringung von einer oder mehreren exzentrischen Vertiefungen an einer Ventilscheibe wird es ermöglicht, daß auch das Scheibenzentrum der Ventilscheiben vom Wasser benetzt wird und der Abrieb und das Fett in gleichem Maße weggespült werden kann.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann zweckmäßig die Ventilscheibe, in der die Vertiefung ausgebildet ist, mit einer entsprechenden, sich in die Durchtrittsöffnung hinein erstreckenden Wölbung versehen werden, so daß in der Schließstellung der Ventilscheiben eine gleichmäßige Scheibenüberdeckung gewährleistet wird.
With these measures according to the invention, an undesired leakage of the shut-off and regulating valve can largely be prevented after a longer period of use. By introducing one or more eccentric depressions on a valve disk, it is possible for the disk center of the valve disks to be wetted by the water and for the abrasion and the grease to be washed away to the same extent.
In a further embodiment of the invention, the valve disk in which the recess is formed can be appropriately provided with a corresponding curvature extending into the passage opening, so that a uniform disk overlap is ensured in the closed position of the valve disks.

In Figur 1 ist eine aus Keramikmaterial hergestellte Ventilscheibe 1 gezeigt, die an die in Figur 2 gezeigte Ventilscheibe 2 drehbar angelagert wird. Die Ventilscheiben 1,2 sind für den Einbau in ein in der Zeichnung nicht dargestelltes bekanntes Ventilgehäuse vorgesehen. Die Ventilscheibe 2 wird dabei in dem Ventilgehäuse drehfest angeordnet. Zu diesem Zweck hat die Ventilscheibe 2 zwei etwa gegenüberliegende Radialvorsprünge 22, mit denen sie in entsprechende Längsnuten in dem Ventilgehäuse einfaßt. Die Ventilscheibe 1 ist dabei mit gegenüberliegenden Ausnehmungen 12 versehen, in die entsprechende Klauen einer in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellten, im Ventilgehäuse gelagerten Ventilspindel einfassen, derart, daß einerseits eine drehfeste Verbindung zwischen Ventilspindel und Ventilscheibe 1 hergestellt ist, und andererseits gegenüber dem anstehenden Wasserdruck eine axiale Abstützung erfolgt. Hierbei ist die als Ventilsitz wirkende, drehfest gehaltene Ventilscheibe 2 stromaufwärts angeordnet und liegt mit einer glatt geschliffenen Dichtfläche 20 an einer entsprechend geschliffenen Dichtfläche 10 der drehbaren Ventilscheibe 1 an. Beide Ventilscheiben 1 und 2 werden somit axial von der in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellten Ventilspindel abgestützt.
Die Ventilscheiben 1 und 2 haben jeweils in einer Hälfte eine Durchtrittsöffnung 11,21. Die Durchtrittsöffnungen 11,21 weisen dabei im Querschnitt die Form eines Kreissegments auf, wobei jeweils eine Basislinie 3, etwa parallel versetzt zum Durchmesser 6 der Ventilscheiben 1,2, die Durchtrittsöffnungen 11,21 auf der einen Scheibenhälfte begrenzen.
1 shows a valve disk 1 made of ceramic material, which is rotatably attached to the valve disk 2 shown in FIG. The valve disks 1, 2 are provided for installation in a known valve housing, not shown in the drawing. The valve disc 2 is arranged in a rotationally fixed manner in the valve housing. For this purpose, the valve disc 2 has two approximately opposite radial projections 22 with which it fits into corresponding longitudinal grooves in the valve housing. The valve disc 1 is provided with opposite recesses 12, in the corresponding claws of a valve stem, not shown in the drawing, mounted in the valve housing, such that on the one hand a rotationally fixed connection between the valve stem and the valve disc 1 is made, and on the other hand one against the water pressure axial support is provided. Here, the valve disk 2, which acts as a valve seat and is held in a rotationally fixed manner, is arranged upstream and bears with a smoothly ground sealing surface 20 against a correspondingly ground sealing surface 10 of the rotatable valve disk 1. Both valve disks 1 and 2 are thus axially supported by the valve spindle, not shown in the drawing.
The valve disks 1 and 2 each have a passage opening 11, 21 in one half. The through openings 11, 21 have the shape of a circular segment in cross-section, wherein a base line 3, offset approximately parallel to the diameter 6 of the valve disks 1, 2, delimit the through openings 11, 21 on one half of the disk.

In der stromaufwärts angeordneten Ventilscheibe 2 ist, von der Dichtfläche 20 ausgehend, exzentrisch zur Mittelachse 4 eine als Sackloch ausgebildete Vertiefung 5 in der der Hälfte mit der Durchtrittsöffnung 21 gegenüberliegenden Hälfte der Ventilscheibe 2 ausgebildet. Die Vertiefung 5 ist hierbei auf einer senkrecht zur Basislinie 3 stehenden Mittellinie 31 angeordnet und berührt bzw. übergreift geringfügig die Mittelachse 4. Damit eine gleichbleibende Überdeckung der beiden Ventilscheiben 1 und 2 in der Absperrstellung sichergestellt ist, weist die Basislinie 3 konzentrisch zur Vertiefung 5 eine sich in die Durchtrittsöffnung 21 erstreckende Wölbung 32 auf.In the upstream valve disc 2, starting from the sealing surface 20, eccentric to the central axis 4 a recess 5 designed as a blind hole in the half opposite to the passage opening 21 Half of the valve disc 2 is formed. The recess 5 is here on a perpendicular to Baseline 3 arranged center line 31 and touches or slightly overlaps the central axis 4. This ensures a constant overlap of the two valve disks 1 and 2 ensured in the shut-off position is, the baseline 3 concentrically Indentation 5 extends into the passage opening 21 Curvature 32 on.

In den Figuren 3 bis 5 sind die Ventilscheiben 1 und 2 als Paar aneinander gelagert, wie sie in einem bekannten Ventilgehäuse - in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellt - angeordnet werden.
In Figur 3 sind die Ventilscheiben 1 und 2 in der Absperrstellung gezeigt, d. h. die Durchtrittsöffnung 21 der stromaufwärts gelegenen Scheibe 2 wird vor der stromabwärts gelegenen mit der Ventilspindel - in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellt - drehbaren Ventilscheibe 1 über die Dichtflächen 10 und 20 abgesperrt. In dieser Ventilscheibenstellung ist die Vertiefung 5 in der stromaufwärts gelegenen Ventilscheibe 2 über die Durchtrittsöffnung 11 der Ventilscheibe 1 mit dem im Ventilgehäuse vorhandenen Wasser verbunden.
In Figur 4 ist die Ventilscheibe 1 mit der in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellten Ventilspindel um 135° im Uhrzeigersinn zur drehfest gehaltenen Ventilscheibe 2 gedreht worden, so daß nunmehr die Durchtrittsöffnungen 21 und 11 sich zu einem 3/4 überdecken. Bei dieser Drehbewegung wandert die Vertiefung 5 um den Zentrumsbereich der Dichtfläche 10 der Ventilscheibe 1 und benetzt diesen Bereich mit Wasser.
In Figur 5 ist die drehbare Ventilscheibe 1 zur drehfest gehaltenen Ventilsitzscheibe 2 um 180° gedreht, so daß in dieser Stellung beide Durchtrittsöffnungen 11 und 21 sich überdecken.
In Figures 3 to 5, the valve disks 1 and 2 are mounted together as a pair, as they are arranged in a known valve housing - not shown in the drawing.
In FIG. 3, the valve disks 1 and 2 are shown in the shut-off position, ie the passage opening 21 of the upstream disk 2 is shut off via the sealing surfaces 10 and 20 in front of the valve disk 1 which is rotatable downstream with the valve spindle - not shown in the drawing. In this valve disk position, the depression 5 in the upstream valve disk 2 is connected to the water present in the valve housing via the passage opening 11 of the valve disk 1.
In Figure 4, the valve disc 1 with the valve spindle, not shown in the drawing, has been rotated clockwise by 135 ° to the non-rotatable valve disc 2, so that the through openings 21 and 11 now overlap to a 3/4. During this rotary movement, the recess 5 moves around the central area of the sealing surface 10 of the valve disk 1 and wets this area with water.
In Figure 5, the rotatable valve disc 1 is rotated 180 ° to the non-rotatable valve seat disc 2, so that in this position both through openings 11 and 21 overlap.

Mit Hilfe der Vertiefung 5 kann somit in ausreichendem Maße das Scheibenzentrum mit Wasser benetzt werden, und dem Aufbau von abträglichen Aufschotterungen hinreichend entgegengewirkt werden, so daß eine etwa gleichbleibende Dichtheit der Ventilscheibenpaarung über einen langen Zeitraum gewährleistet wird.
Zweckmäßig kann die vorzugsweise als Sackbohrung ausgebildete Vertiefung 5 mit einem Durchmesser versehen werden, der etwa 1/20 des Außendurchmessers der Ventilscheiben 1,2 beträgt.
With the help of the recess 5, the disc center can thus be adequately wetted with water, and the build-up of detrimental ballast can be sufficiently counteracted, so that an approximately constant tightness of the valve disc pairing is ensured over a long period of time.
The recess 5, which is preferably designed as a blind bore, can expediently be provided with a diameter which is approximately 1/20 of the outer diameter of the valve disks 1, 2.

Insbesondere bei mehreren Durchtrittsöffnungen je Ventilscheibe können selbstverständlich auch mehrere Vertiefungen im Zentrum einer Ventilscheibe ausgebildet werden, so daß dann auch bei einem entsprechend reduzierten Drehwinkel der beiden Ventilscheiben zueinander eine ausreichende Benetzung des Scheibenzentrums gewährleistet wird.Especially when there are several openings per valve disc can of course also have several specializations formed in the center of a valve disc be, so that then with a correspondingly reduced Angle of rotation of the two valve disks to one another ensures adequate wetting of the disc center becomes.
